CEO COMMENT
Al Monaco, President and CEO commented on the following:
"While global economies and energy markets are experiencing significant volatility, Enbridge's premium North America franchises, resilient commercial underpinnings, and our increasing inventory of organic opportunities put us in a great position to continue to grow into the future. The fundamentals of our business continue to be positive; it's clear that the world needs all forms of energy to meet future demand, especially in the context of the energy security, reliability, and affordability challenges that everyone is faced with in today's environment.
"We are pleased with our strong third quarter results and year-to-date performance, a testament to the Enbridge team across our four core businesses. We're tracking to plan and expect to achieve our 2022 EBITDA and DCF per share guidance. Looking forward, our low-risk business model provides us with excellent visibility to growing cash flows and our assets are underpinned by long-term contracts or cost-of-service frameworks that provide built-in inflation protections.
"The current environment and strong global energy fundamentals validate our dual-pronged strategy of expanding and modernizing our conventional business and increasing investment in low-carbon growth. We've made excellent progress on the priorities that we laid out at Enbridge Day last December, particularly related to our natural gas strategy on both sides of the border.
"On the conventional infrastructure side, last quarter we sanctioned a major expansion of our T-North gas transmission system in British Columbia and agreed to acquire a 30% interest in Woodfibre LNG near Squamish. The 535 MMcf/d T-North expansion is progressing and we expect to close the Woodfibre transaction shortly.
"Today we're announcing an expansion of our T-South system that will provide much needed capacity for customers, supported by binding long-term take-or-pay commitments. The expansion is critical to meet natural gas demand and ensuring energy reliability in the region. The project illustrates well the criticality of existing pipe in the ground in minimizing the environmental footprint of much needed energy infrastructure. The project will be developed in consultation and close collaboration with communities.
"We also announced today an open season for a further expansion of our T-North system of approximately 500 MMcf/d. This expansion is needed to support regional production growth, LNG exports, and increased demand.
"South of the border, we're also excited about our growing opportunity set in the U.S. Gulf Coast where we already feed five LNG export facilities and we have line of sight to additional LNG related and regional gas pipeline expansion projects.
"Continuing with natural gas, we're executing our $3.5 billion secured growth program at our Ontario gas distribution utility with $1.1 billion of projects on track to enter service this year. Last week, we filed a regulatory application that will establish the next incentive framework, through 2028. This rate-making model has worked well for customers and Enbridge, and we expect continued rate base and earnings growth from this franchise.
"In our Liquids business, we've seen strong recovery of Western Canadian supply and throughput across our systems, including the Mainline. We've sanctioned construction of four new oil storage tanks at our Ingleside export facility and acquired an additional 10% interest in the Cactus II Pipeline, both of which bolster our U.S. Gulf Coast oil export strategies.
"We announced a landmark partnership with Athabasca Indigenous Investments on seven pipelines in the Athabasca region. We're excited to work together with our Indigenous partners on operating these assets, as well as stewarding the surrounding environment. This transaction demonstrates our commitment to recycling capital at attractive valuations and provides a framework for potential future Indigenous partnerships which we believe will be a critical component of future energy infrastructure development and ownership.
"Discussions with shippers on a new Mainline commercial agreement continue. We are pursuing two commercial paths - the potential for another incentive-type tolling arrangement, or a cost-of-service model. While we anticipated a decision to determine the optimal path for Enbridge and our customers in the third quarter, discussions are ongoing, and we expect to continue negotiations through the end of the year.
"This quarter, we made great progress on our low-carbon priorities. In renewables, our acquisition of Tri Global Energy meaningfully accelerates our North American strategy and opportunity set. The Tri Global team strongly complements our existing capabilities and the deal immediately adds an attractive backlog of 3 GW of development projects that could be in service between 2024 and 2028, with more opportunities in the works. In Europe, execution of our four offshore wind projects off the coast of France is progressing, with Saint Nazaire wrapping up and expected to generate first power later this month.
"We've also made good strides in our RNG business with two newly secured projects in Ontario totaling approximately $100 million, which will supply zero emissions natural gas, delivered under long term take-or-pay contracts.
"With today's announcements, we've secured $8 billion of new capital projects this year and our secured capital backlog is now $17 billion, which will be fully funded within our equity self-funding model. Our secured program is diversified and underpinned by commercial models that align with our low-risk value proposition. We will continue to be disciplined allocators of capital by focusing on a strong balance sheet, investing wisely in the business, and returning capital to shareholders.
"Finally, as I reflect on my 27 years at Enbridge, the last 11 as CEO, I'm proud of what the Enbridge team has accomplished. We've consistently grown cash flows and the dividend, delivered on our strategic priorities, and materially enhanced and diversified our asset mix by substantially increasing our natural gas footprint and low-carbon platform and capabilities. I'm particularly pleased with how we have positioned our business and implemented strategies to lead the energy transition. Looking forward, we'll continue to deliver on our purpose to fuel people's quality of life, safely, reliably, and sustainably.
"I've been honored to lead Enbridge and I'm confident that under Greg Ebel's leadership, the management team will continue to grow Enbridge - North America's leading energy infrastructure company. I wish to sincerely thank our immensely skilled and dedicated staff, shareholders and other stakeholders, and our Board of Directors for their support of Enbridge. Since the announcement, Greg and I have implemented a transition plan to ensure a smooth changeover and maintain momentum and consistency - and that's well underway."

GAAP earnings attributable to common shareholders for the third quarter of 2022 increased by $597 million or $0.29 per share compared with the same period in 2021, primarily due to operating performance factors discussed in detail below and a $1,076 million gain ($732 million after-tax) recorded on the closing of the joint venture merger transaction with Phillips 66 (P66). This has been partially offset by the impact of the mark-to-market value of derivative financial instruments used to manage foreign exchange risk. In the third quarter of 2022, GAAP earnings attributable to common shareholders were negatively impacted by non-cash, net unrealized derivative fair value losses of $1,334 million ($1,021 million after-tax) compared with unrealized losses of $436 million ($332 million after-tax) in the third quarter of 2021.
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 Management's Discussion & Analysis for the third quarter of 2022 filed in conjunction with the third quarter financial statements for a detailed discussion of GAAP financial results.
Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2022 increased by $489 million compared with the same period in 2021. This was primarily driven by contributions from new assets placed into service including the U.S. portion of the Line 3 Replacement Project and the acquisition of EIEC, as well as the recognition of higher revenues from updated rates on Texas Eastern as a result of its recent rate case.
Adjusted earnings in the third quarter of 2022 increased by $182 million, or $0.08 per share, primarily due to higher Adjusted EBITDA contributions, offset by higher financing costs due to lower capitalized interest with the completion of the U.S. portion of the Line 3 Replacement Project along with the impacts of rising interest rates on floating-rate debt, and increased depreciation expense on new assets placed into service in the fourth quarter of 2021.
DCF for the third quarter of 2022 increased by $211 million, or $0.11 per share, primarily due to higher Adjusted EBITDA contributions partially offset by the timing of maintenance capital spend, higher cash taxes on higher taxable earnings, and higher financing costs noted above.
Detailed financial information and analysis can be found below under Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results.
FINANCIAL OUTLOOK
The Company reaffirms its 2022 financial guidance, which includes adjusted EBITDA between $15.0 and $15.6 billion and DCF per share between $5.20 to $5.50. Results for the nine months of 2022 are in line with expectations and the Company anticipates that its businesses will continue to experience strong capacity utilization and throughput, and good operating performance through the balance of the year with normal course seasonality. Forward financial guidance reflects a provision in recognition of the uncertainty of future Mainline tolls associated with the ongoing commercial framework discussions with shippers.
Strong operational performance is expected to be offset by challenging market conditions which continue to impact Energy Services, along with higher financing costs, due to increased interest rates on unhedged floating rate debt, relative to 2022 financial guidance.
FINANCING UPDATE
During the third quarter of 2022, Enbridge Gas Inc. a wholly-owned subsidiary of Enbridge, issued $325 million of 10-year senior notes and $325 million of 30-year senior notes. Additionally, Enbridge issued US$1.1 billion of 60-year hybrid subordinated notes which will receive partial equity treatment from rating agencies. These debt offerings were completed at attractive rates with proceeds used to pay down existing indebtedness, fund capital projects, and for other general corporate purposes.
In August of 2022, the Company closed a transaction with P66 which provided Enbridge with approximately US$400 million of net proceeds. In October of 2022, Enbridge completed the sale of a minority non-operating interest in certain Enbridge-operated pipelines in the Athabasca region of northern Alberta to Athabasca Indigenous Investments (Aii) for $1.12 billion of cash proceeds. Both transactions are discussed below. Proceeds from these transactions create financial flexibility and provide Enbridge with additional investable capacity to be deployed within the Company's disciplined capital allocation framework.
The Company expects to continue to fund its secured capital growth program within its equity self-funding model utilizing internally generated cash flows, proceeds from recently completed transactions and future debt financings.
SECURED GROWTH PROJECT EXECUTION UPDATE
During the third quarter, the Company added approximately $3.8 billion of growth capital to its secured capital program, including an expansion of the T-South section of the B.C. Pipeline System (T-South Expansion) with an estimated capital cost of up to $3.6 billion, a US$60 million expansion of storage facilities at EIEC, and an approximately $100 million investment in two RNG projects in Ontario.
The Company's current secured growth program is now approximately $17 billion with the Company expecting to place $4.0 billion into service in 2022 with the East-West Tie-Line and Gulfstream Phase VI projects already in service.
B.C. Pipeline Expansions
Enbridge continues to advance engineering and design work on the previously announced 535 MMcf/d expansion of the T-North segment (Aspen Point) of the B.C. Pipeline System with an estimated capital cost of $1.2 billion. The Company expects to file its application with the CER in 2024 with an anticipated in-service date in 2026.
During the third quarter, Enbridge successfully completed an oversubscribed binding open season and is proceeding with the 300 MMcf/d T-South Expansion project with a capital cost of up to $3.6 billion.
The T-South Expansion will consist of compressor unit additions, pipeline looping and other ancillary station modifications. Enbridge has now begun the regulatory and permitting process and plans to file its application with the Canada Energy Regulator (CER) in 2024. The project is expected to be placed in service in 2028 and will be underpinned by a cost-of-service commercial model.
Today, Enbridge announced that it is proceeding with a binding open season for a further expansion of approximately 500 MMcf/d on the T-North segment of the B.C. Pipeline with an estimated capital cost of up $1.9 billion to meet demand for further egress from growing Montney production, LNG exports, and to accommodate downstream demand. The open season is expected to close in early 2023.
BUSINESS UPDATES
Advancing U.S. Gulf Coast Oil Strategy
On August 17, 2022, Enbridge completed a joint venture merger transaction with P66 resulting in a single joint venture holding both Enbridge's and P66's indirect ownership interests in Gray Oak Pipeline, LLC (Gray Oak) and DCP Midstream LP (DCP) and an agreement to realign their respective economic and governance interests in the underlying business operations.
Enbridge's indirect economic interest in Gray Oak has increased to 58.5% from 22.8% and Enbridge will assume operatorship of Gray Oak in the second quarter of 2023. The Company's indirect economic interest in DCP has been reduced to 13.2% from 28.3%. Additionally, Enbridge received approximately US$400 million of cash proceeds from the merged entity.
Gray Oak is a long-haul, contracted pipeline providing critical, low-cost connectivity from the Permian basin to Corpus Christi and Houston regions.
On November 2, 2022, the Company announced that it acquired an additional 10% ownership interest in the 670 thousand barrel per day (kbpd) Cactus II Pipeline (Cactus II) for US$177 million in cash from Western Midstream. Enbridge's non-operating ownership in Cactus II is now 30%.
Cactus II is a highly contracted take-or-pay system that benefits from flexible delivery options across key locations in Corpus Christi and is integrated with EIEC. The pipeline has the lowest operating cost of all major Permian oil pipelines and can offer competitive tariffs to utilize available capacity to transport intermittent volumes.
Also today, Enbridge has sanctioned a US$60 million oil storage expansion at EIEC which will add four additional oil storage tanks for approximately two million barrels of additional storage capacity in 2024.
In combination with EIEC and Enbridge's increased economic interest in Gray Oak and Cactus II, the Company is well-positioned to provide transportation solutions for growing Permian Basin supply to local U.S. Gulf Coast and global export markets.
Acquisition of Tri Global Energy
On September 29, 2022, Enbridge announced the acquisition of TGE, a leading US renewable power project developer, for US$270 million in cash and assumed debt. TGE has a large development portfolio, including 3.9 GW of renewable generation projects that TGE has already sold to operators, which will generate development fees and DCF per share accretion for Enbridge beginning in 2023. In addition, 3 GW of wholly-owned, late-stage development projects are expected to be placed into service between 2024 and 2028, providing visible cash flow growth, along with a large slate of early-stage development projects.
Rising targets for State renewable portfolio standards and growing private sector demand for zero-carbon electricity are set to drive investment in wind and solar power generation significantly higher over the next decade. The acquisition of TGE enhances Enbridge's renewable power platform and further builds on the Company's inventory of North American growth opportunities.
Athabasca Indigenous Investments Partnership
On October 5th, 2022, Enbridge closed the previously announced partnership with Aii, a newly created entity representing 23 First Nation and Métis communities, whereby Aii acquired an 11.57% non-operating interest in seven Enbridge-operated Regional Oil Sands pipelines in northern Alberta for $1.12 billion. The transaction included the following pipelines: Athabasca; Wood Buffalo/Athabasca Twin and associated tanks; Norlite Diluent; Waupisoo; Wood Buffalo; Woodland; and the Woodland extension.
The partnership with Aii strengthens the Company's record of engagement with Indigenous communities and developing financial partnerships. It also provides Enbridge an opportunity to realize value from its existing asset base and supplements the Company's investable capacity into new value enhancing growth opportunities.
Texas Eastern Transmission, LP (Texas Eastern) Rate Case
On September 8, 2022, Texas Eastern filed an uncontested Stipulation and Agreement with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to resolve all issues from the rate proceeding. The comment and reply period ended October 11, 2022 and it is now with the FERC awaiting approval.
Mainline Commercial Framework
The Company is currently advancing two potential commercial frameworks for the Canadian Mainline in parallel: i) a new incentive rate-making agreement that may be similar to the Competitive Toll Settlement (CTS) agreement that expired on June 30, 2021, and ii) a Canadian Mainline cost-of-service application. Either framework is anticipated to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns and the range of financial outcomes is not expected to materially impact Enbridge's financial outlook.
Enbridge has consulted with industry participants regarding the Canadian Mainline and shared incentive rate making proposals, supported by detailed cost information, with an industry representative group comprised of a cross-section of participants, including producers, integrated producers and refiners.
The Company had previously anticipated deciding whether to file either a negotiated incentive tolling settlement or a Canadian Mainline cost-of-service application with the CER in the third quarter of 2022. However, we expect negotiations with stakeholders to continue through the end of the year.
Enbridge has already filed and is currently negotiating with shippers a cost-of-service application with the FERC in the U.S for the Lakehead System (U.S. portion of the Mainline).
Enbridge is collecting interim tolls, which are subject to refund, related to its July 1, 2021 Lakehead cost of service filing. On the Canadian Mainline, Enbridge is also collecting, per the terms of the CTS, interim tolls consistent with the tolls in effect on June 30, 2021 when the CTS agreement expired and which are also subject to refund. The Company's financial results and forward 2022 financial guidance reflects a provision in recognition of the uncertainty of future mainline tolls.

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 rate (C$1.31/US$) in the third quarter of 2022 when compared with the third quarter in 2021 (C$1.26/US$). A portion of U.S. dollar earnings is hedged under the Company's enterprise-wide financial risk management program. The offsetting hedge settlements are reported within Eliminations and Other.

4 | The IJT benchmark toll and its components are set in U.S. dollars and the majority of the Company's foreign exchange risk on the Canadian portion of the Mainline is hedged. The Canadian portion of the Mainline represents approximately 55% of total Mainline System revenue and the average effective FX rate realized for the Canadian portion of the Mainline during the third quarter of 2022 was C$1.23/US$ (Q3 2021: C$1.26/US$). The U.S. portion of the Mainline System is subject to FX translation similar to the Company's other U.S. based businesses, which are translated at the average spot rate for a given period. A portion of this U.S. dollar translation exposure is hedged under the Company's enterprise-wide financial risk management program with offsetting hedge settlements reported within Eliminations and Other. The Company is currently recording a provision against the IJT in recognition of the uncertainty of the final Mainline tolls upon the completion of the Mainline commercial framework negotiations. |
5 | The interim surcharge of US$0.20 for the Canadian portion of the Line 3 Replacement Project, which was placed into service on December 1, 2019, was collected until October 1, 2021. With the completion of the U.S. portion of the Line 3 Replacement Project on October 1, 2021, the interim surcharge was replaced by the full Line 3 Replacement surcharge. |
6 | Effective July 1, 2022, the Line 3 Replacement Surcharge, exclusive of the receipt terminalling surcharge, will be determined on a monthly basis by a volume ratchet based on the 9-month rolling average of ex-Gretna volumes. Each 50kbpd volume ratchet above 2,835 kbpd (up to 3,085 kbpd) applies a US$0.035/bbl discount whereas each 50kbpd 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 Line 3 Replacement Surcharges and CER Order TO-003-2021 for further details. |

Gas Distribution and Storage adjusted EBITDA will typically follow a seasonal profile. It is generally highest in the first and fourth quarters of the year reflecting greater volumetric demand during the heating season. 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.
Gas Distribution & Storage adjusted EBITDA remained consistent compared with the third quarter of 2021, resulting from higher distribution charges at EGI from increases in rates and customer base that were offset by higher maintenance and integrity costs.
When compared with the normal weather forecast embedded in rates, the weather in the third quarter of 2022 and 2021 had no impact on EBITDA.

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 strategic plan, priorities and outlook; 2022 financial guidance, including projected DCF per share and adjusted EBITDA and expected growth thereof; expected dividends, dividend growth and dividend policy; expected supply of, demand for, exports of and prices of crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGL), liquified natural gas (LNG) and renewable energy; energy transition and low carbon energy and our approach thereto; environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals, and plans; anticipated utilization of our assets, expected EBITDA and expected 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 the Company's businesses, including customer growth and organic growth opportunities; financial strength, capacity and flexibility; financing costs1; expectations on leverage, sources of liquidity and sufficiency of financial resources; expected in-service dates and costs related to announced projects and projects under construction and system expansion, optimization and modernization; capital allocation framework and priorities; impact of weather and seasonality; investment capacity; expected future growth and expansion opportunities, including secured growth program, development opportunities and low carbon and new energies opportunities and strategy, including with respect to the Woodfibre LNG investment, T-North and T-South expansions and open seasons and EIEC; expected acquisitions, dispositions and other transactions, and the timing and benefits thereof; expected future actions and decisions of regulators and courts and the timing and impact thereof, including with respect to Aii, Gray Oak Pipeline, Cactus II Pipeline and TGE; expected future actions and decisions of regulators and courts and the timing and impact thereof; and toll and rate case discussions and filings, including with respect to the Mainline and Texas Eastern, 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: energy transition, including the drivers and pace thereof; global economic growth and trade; the expected supply of and demand for crude oil, natural gas, NGL, LNG and renewable energy; prices of crude oil, natural gas, NGL, LNG and renewable energy; anticipated utilization of our assets; anticipated cost savings; exchange rates; inflation; interest rates; the COVID-19 pandemic and the duration and impact thereof; availability and price of labour and construction materials; the stability of our supply chain; operational reliability and performance; customer, regulatory and stakeholder support and approvals; anticipated construction and in-service dates; weather; announced and potential acquisition, disposition and other corporate transactions and projects and the timing and impact thereof; governmental legislation; litigation; credit ratings; hedging program; expected EBITDA and expected adjusted EBITDA; expected earnings/(loss) and adjusted earnings/(loss); expected earnings/(loss) or adjusted earnings/(loss) per share; expected future cash flows and 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 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 the Company's services.
1 As at September 30, 2022, approximately 10% of Enbridge's debt is exposed to floating interest rates as well as 2023 debt maturities that require re-financing which, given rising interest rates, has had and could continue to have an impact on our financing costs. |
Similarly, exchange rates, inflation, interest rates and the COVID-19 pandemic impact the economies and business environments in which the Company operates and may impact levels of demand for the Company's services and cost of inputs and are, therefore, inherent in all forward-looking statements. Due to the interdependencies and correlation of these macroeconomic factors, the impact of any one assumption on a forward-looking statement cannot be determined with certainty, particularly with respect to expected EBITDA, expected adjusted EBITDA, expected earnings/(loss), expected adjusted earnings/(loss), expected DCF and associated per share amounts and estimated future dividends. 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 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; customer, government and regulatory approvals on construction and in-service schedules and cost recovery regimes; and the COVID-19 pandemic and the duration and impact thereof.
Enbridge's forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties pertaining to the realization of anticipated benefits and synergies of projects and transactions, successful execution of our strategic priorities, operating performance, the Company's dividend policy, regulatory parameters, changes in regulations applicable to the Company's business, litigation, acquisitions and dispositions and other transactions, project approval and support, renewals of rights-of-way, weather, economic and competitive conditions, public opinion, changes in tax laws and tax rates, changes in trade agreements, political decisions, exchange rates, interest rates, inflation commodity prices, supply of and demand for commodities and the COVID-19 pandemic, including but not limited to those risks and uncertainties discussed in this and in the Company's other filings with Canadian and U.S. securities regulators. The impact of any one risk, uncertainty or factor on a particular forward-looking statement is not determinable with certainty, as these are interdependent and Enbridge's 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 statements 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 Enbridge or persons acting on the Company's 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. 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.
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.
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.
